Hope Burns crushes him and he’s out for the year again. Fug the Saints

He'll get'em.

Call me a homer, but I believe we are going to be much better next year, regardless of whom is QB.

ETA: matter of fact, I would bet that we are much better with Teddy next year then we were is year.

I will still be surprised if he isn't No's qb.

Here's how I understand the logic behind it...

Brees knows he's not going to get paid either way because he's retiring, so his salary being on the books only affects the Saints negatively with no benefit..

To fix this, he reduces his salary to league minimum. The Saints can't get entirely away from his contract, but this does a lot to lessen the impact of it.

It's a "team player" sort of thing, and the Saints can definitely use the cap relief.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
